The invention provides a hardware neural network conversion method which converts a neural network application into a hardware neural network meeting the hardware constraint condition, a computing device, a compiling method and a neural network software and hardware collaboration system. The method comprises the steps that a neural network connection diagram corresponding to the neural network application is acquired; the neural network connection diagram is split into neural network basic units; each neural network basic unit is converted into a network which has the equivalent function with the neural network basic unit and is formed by connection of basic module virtual bodies of neural network hardware; and the obtained basic unit hardware networks are connected according to the splitting sequence so as to generate the parameter file of the hardware neural network. A brand-new neural network and quasi-brain computation software and hardware system is provided, and an intermediate compiling layer is additionally arranged between the neural network application and a neural network chip so that the problem of adaptation between the neural network application and the neural network application chip can be solved, and development of the application and the chip can also be decoupled.

Methods and systems for converting synchronous circuit designs to asynchronous circuit designs, and particularly programmable asynchronous circuit designs. Provide is a systematic, workable and repeatable process for evaluating synchronous circuit designs, converting the wires, switches / connections and logic functions to equivalent-function asynchronous circuit designs and hence implementing a functionally equivalent asynchronous circuit with all the benefits thereof. Further provided are a process for systematically doing the conversion and hardware equivalents (in form or functional description) for the asynchronous components. Using the present invention, any synchronous circuit design can be converted to an asynchronous equivalent, typically with no change to the original design implementation.

There is disclosed an image capture apparatus that facilitates fast, easy and convenient image capture of the two apposing pages of hard to scan bound documents such as thick books. The image capture apparatus has special design features that conveniently and properly positions bound documents to enable capturing distortion-free images without damage to the binding. In one preferred embodiment the invention facilitates the use of a digital image capture module such as a digital camera or digital video camera in performing an equivalent function to a flatbed scanner in recording digital images. In another preferred embodiment the invention facilitates the use of a regular camera in recording photographic images of the bound document. In yet another preferred embodiment the invention facilitates the use of a flatbed scanner in recording digital images.
